Re: Okay, strange question

I know what you mean, and I have had the same thing happen....I always put

purulent discharge when this happens and have never had a problem w/it.

Diane, I totally agree with you and have always been told that we should never,

ever type pussy. First off, I am not sure that is even an actual word.

Pus-like would work, but the word I usually use is purulent. Purulence is the

formation or presence of pus and purulent is the adjective form. Of course, you

could also change the sentence around to read, " Vaginal exam reveals a discharge

of pus. " Hope this helps. MG

That was my training, as well.

I'm afraid we don't get off that easy. Per Merriam-Webster

Main Entry: pus·sy

Function: adjective

Inflected Form(s): pus·si·er; -est

Date: circa 1890

: full of or resembling pus

I agree with Margaret's assessment and suggestions; however, if

you're truly on a verbatim account, better check with whomever (the

client or your QA dept.) on how they want you to handle this. I'd

have to give 'em pussy, I'm afraid.
